    OK so, it's been a while since I've been on here and I've been doing a lot of learning about myself and I think it's safe to say I'm not straight. I am most probably bisexual but the thing is, I can't bring myself to say it out loud. I don't know why but I just don't feel like I've earned it. I think it might be because I enjoy both sexes sexually but I'm only romantically interested in the opposite sex.

    Is there anyone else that feels like this?

    Hi,
    It took me 30 years to admit it to myself much less say the words, so you are not alone.

    I think it can be tough to admit many things to yourself including sexuality. Why do you think you are having trouble saying it though? Is it not true? Why aren't you able to say things that are true? Can you say your favorite color out loud?

    I've been out of the closet for 5 years now. I don't identify as straight to anybody and haven't for a long time. There's something about the word gay that makes it hard to say. When asked, I always say "I date men" I never say "I'm Gay." I can probably count on 1 hand how many times I've used the word Gay to describe myself.
